Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has one, Betty White has one … even the entire cast of Glee has one — now Britney Spears has one, too! Our dear Britney will be featured in her very own comic book from Bluewater Productions in March (the very same month her new album will be released). Here is [...]

After making a bit of a splash back in 2002 in his feature film debut in 8 Mile (a film which won him an Academy Award for Best Song), Eminem is finally returning to the big screen. Deadline is reporting that Em has signed on to star in a boxing film being produced by Dreamworks. Eminem‘s new film is titled Southpaw:

reamWorks has made a preemptive acquisition of Southpaw, a pitch for a star vehicle for Eminem (Marshall Mathers) that will be written by Sons of Anarchy creator/exec producer Kurt Sutter. Like in Eminem’s 2002 screen starring debut 8 Mile, Southpaw will be fueled by the struggles that inform Eminem’s music and mirror his life. Eminem will play a fast-rising welterweight boxer who brawls his way to the title, only to see his world crash down around him due to tragedy. The movie is about his fight to reclaim past glory … The film will be produced by Eminem’s Shady Films’ managers and producing partners Paul Rosenberg and Stuart Parr, and Alan and Peter Riche of Riche Productions. The deal comes as Eminem’s comeback album, Recovery, just got 10 Grammy Awards nominations … Sutter will begin writing immediately, and he will complete a draft by February, before he and his Anarchy writers begin to plot the fourth season of the series. “There is a rich story her that references his own experience, and I was honored to be able to continue a relationship that began with 8 Mile,” Snider told me. She’ll steer the project with DreamWorks co-president Mark Sourian.

Well it’s about damn time! I totally understand why Em has not taken on any movie roles in the past 8 years considering all the hardships he’s been thru but it is really great news that he is ready to act again. I loved his performance in 8 Mile and I am really anxious to see if he’s got it inside him to bring the skills again. What do y’all think … are you excited to see Eminem on the big screen again?

Last weekend, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden got married in a lavish yet intimate ceremony at the Richie mansion in Beverly Hills, CA and today we get our first look at the first wedding photo released from the nuptials. As you may recall, Nic/Joel sold their wedding photos to the highest bidder and plan to [...]

Hulk Hogan (neé Terry Bollea) is a married man once again because he and his girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel‘s (who bears a striking and, IMHO, very creepy resemblance to his daughter Brooke Hogan) got themselves married on a beach in Clearwater, FL yesterday. As you might imagine, Hulk Hogan‘s wedding didn’t go down without a bit of a ruckus but the I Dos were said … and Hulk and Jennifer are now hitched!

It figures … only Hulk Hogan’s wedding would require a referee — TMZ has learned cops were called when a brawl broke out in the middle of the nuptials this evening in Florida. Sources at the wedding tell us a photographer was trying to snap shots of Hulk and his bride-to-be, Jennifer McDaniel, during the ceremony in their backyard — which happens to be on the beach in Clearwater. We’re told a family employee told the photog to beat it — and then the scuffle broke out just as Hulk and Jennifer were saying their vows. Classic. Cops were called, but no one was arrested — since no one wanted to press charges — and the ceremony continued …right through Hulk and Jennifer’s ‘I dos.’

And so … a new Mrs. Hulk Hogan has been selected. As you may recall, Hulk and his former wife Linda Bollea divorced shortly after their son Nick Bollea was involved in a near-deadly accident that left one of Nick‘s friends in a vegetative state. Almost as soon as they split, they each hooked up with new partners … both much younger than both Hulk and Linda. Hulk finally married his new partner but it remains to be seen if Linda will do the same. I suppose congratulations are order for Hulk Hogan and his new wife Jennifer … right?

Will Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillio get hitched on New Year’s Day … in Italy? Anderson Cooper will name his new show Anderson. Mittens for Detroit Jon Favreau will NOT direct Iron Man 3. Lt. Dan Choi suffers a break down. Tron: Legacy in your iPad. President Jimmy Carter say the US is ready for [...]

It is becoming increasingly clear that pretty much everyone is already over Jersey Shore … including the Jersey Shore cast themselves. My guess is that the cast is trying to look “serious” in this photo but they, instead, all look like they could give two shits about anything. If I’m bored with the show and the JS cast is bored with the show … what is my incentive to watch season 3? Anyone?

Sources claim Farrell ended the relationship because he didn’t want to be tied down. A source close to the couple reveals, “She realised that Colin is never going to marry her. He cares for Alicja and the baby but he wants to be a free spirit.”

It looks like Colin hasn’t wasted any time and was recently spotted partying in New York with British model Agyness Deyn.

Have you seen the Zoe Buckman, David Schwimmer wedding photos? It is true! The couple secretly wed in a ceremony in June and we are just hearing about it now. Read more about the wedding details and see pictures of the couple here!

The Zoe Buckman, David Schwimmer wedding photos have not yet been released, but we will post them once we get our hands on them. The news that the couple wed just was announced, after a few months of keeping it on the down low. According to the Huffington Post, the couple married in a secret ceremony in June of 2010. Buckman grew up with an interest in photography and pursued her dream by moving to New York from her home in London. It was in 2008 that her move to New York helped to sculpt her professional photography dream. Zoe attended the International Center of Photography to refine her craft. Following the completion of her studies, she went on to work on a couple solo exhibits. Zoe has also photographed for Marie Claire and British GQ.

So how did these two love birds meet? Apparently they met back in 2007 at a restaurant. Buckman was working as a waitress and Schwimmer was shooting the movie Run Fatboy Run. It was just in March that the couple announced their engagement and in June they tied the knot.

Congratulations to the happy couple! Here’s hoping that this celebrity marriage lasts!

Interesting that just recently it was announced that Courteney Cox and David Arquette are splitting and now today, the announcement that the Zoe Buckman and David Schwimmer wedding took place.

Leave your comments in the space below and let me know what you think!

Playing tetherball is a fun, time-honored school-yard tradition (just ask Napoleon Dynamite). Playing tetherball with a beehive? Not so much.

Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be any more posters for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" (after all, we already have these and these and these and this and this), three more posters have popped up. No need to worry, they adhere to the same level of awesome as the previous posters and -- gasp! -- even show us some new things.

The new batch of posters includes Dobby and Bellatrix Lestrange character banners and an extra-long bus wrap, all three of which add to the slowly mounting anticipation for the November 19 release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1." In addition to the fresh crop of images, Warner Bros. will be unveiling a never-before-seen sneak peek at the film at the 2010 Scream Awards, which air October 19 on Spike. And we're sure a whole mess of "Potter" TV spots, talk show appearances and what not will ensue. But until then, you can feast your eyes on the three posters after the jump.

The Dobby poster is in the same vein as the up-close character banners that we loved so much the first time around. Of the three new posters, this one is hands down our favorite, because it both shows the vulnerability Dobby has in "Part 1" and highlights him as being on the story's main characters (finally!). Just look at those eyes!

Similarly, the Bellatrix image calls to mind these character posters. Considering Ms. Lestrange is easily one of our favorite villains in the films, we're glad she's also being highlighted so much.

Last but not least, there's the epic bus poster for "Part 1" (click on the image below for a larger, easier-to-see version). The idea is pretty simple: It takes the escape from 4 Privet Drive (during which most of the good guys are disguised as Mr. Potter) and turns it into the basic good versus evil fight that's underlined the entire series. It's not the grittiest or darkest of the "Potter" posters by a long shot, but it's cool nonetheless.

Which of the three new posters is your favorite? Tell us in the comments

In advance of the world premiere of his new slasher flick "Savage County" on MTV2 this Thursday, October 7, at 11 p.m. (10 p.m. Central), director David Harris has been guest-blogging on MTV News to share some thoughts on making the film. He talked about marketing the movie in yesterday's post, and today he offers up some horror-movie-making tips. Come back tomorrow for his third and final blog.

I want to make another movie for all kinds of reasons: It's my dream to be a director... Maybe I'll make money at it someday... I want to have one of those chairs with my name on the back... But, more than anything, I want to make another movie because I learned so much the first time around that it seems like a waste not to use that knowledge.

Making movies is now what having a band used to be. A lot of people do it, and with digital cameras everywhere, it's an accessible way to express yourself. Everybody from Hitchcock to Tarantino has excellent advice on the creative process that's only a Google search away. There's nothing I can impart about the art of filmmaking that comes close to them, BUT I'm pretty sure I have some practical advice on making your first horror movie that they couldn't give you.

Here are my top five tips:

1. Pack a Flashlight

Scouting locations for a horror movie is very much like being in a horror movie. Everyone who knows of a scary, horrible place will suggest you visit -- whether it fits your movie or not. Scouting "Savage County," we found ourselves knee-deep in water in an abandoned basement autopsy room/morgue/body incinerator. Did we bring a flashlight? Nope. We used the flash on a digital camera to light up the room every couple of feet. It was straight out of "Quarantine." Flashlights are cheap; we were dumb.

2. Buy Waders

These are knee-high thick rubber boots -- you can buy heavy-duty hunting versions at Walmart. I never saw leeches before scouting Savage County. Besides, this will come in handy when you turn over a board and reveal the guy pictured to the right.

3. More Blood! More Dirt!

Your cast arrives in the morning. They're good-looking, fresh-faced, ready to work... You put a little blood on them and they look terrible, but not horror-movie terrible. The actors may look at you pleadingly ("Please, don't put any more sticky crap on me!"). Ignore them.

4. Sweat the Small Stuff

We had plenty of days when someone could have gotten killed if something big went wrong. But the one day that actually went to hell (our first day -- yay!) there were about a dozen small things going wrong. Questions to ask: Was the sound guy in the bathroom when the van left for set? Did the grips bring the keys to their truck? Does the production assistant really know how to drive a van? If not, you might find yourself without a sound guy, or lights, with a van in a pond blocking your access to set. Run through checklists like you've got OCD... or hire someone with actual OCD.

5. Shoot Where They're Excited to Have You

I think it's still statistically most likely that if you're reading this, you don't live in a "production hub." I live in L.A. now, and there are a ton of advantages to making movies here, but one big disadvantage is that if you're just starting out, the world isn't lining up to help you out. When we decided to shoot "Savage County" in Memphis, I didn't know how lucky we'd be. The town isn't a stranger to production ("Hustle & Flow," "The Client" and "Walk the Line" were filmed there), but there are enough creative, talented people there who aren't often asked to contribute to a film... but when they are asked, they're excited to help (guys like the REAL Crittenden County Fire Department, who made the shirts pictured for the movie so they'd be authentic). Wherever that excitement comes from, wherever you can find that support -- that's where you should make your movie. It's easy to take that support for granted, but it could be the thing that makes your first film possible.

It was wild times indeed this past weekend at New York's Javits Center, where fanboys and fangirls -- many of them dressed like Chewbaccas, Predators, Princess Leias, Super Marios and N'avi warriors -- showed up in droves of thousands to geek out about comics, movies, TV and anime at New York Comic Con 2010. I [...]

Disney announced in March that it plans to shut down Robert Zemeckis' digital animation studio. Apparently "A Christmas Carol" — and its lackluster domestic box office showing — will be one of the studio's swan songs (get excited for "Mars Needs Moms," people!). Yet the closure, so it seems, will have no bearing on the status of "Yellow Submarine," Zemeckis' 3-D motion-capture reinvention of the classic Beatles cartoon.

"That will be going in April of next year, so we're gearing up for that," star Cary Elwes, who will be voicing the role of George Harrison, told MTV News at New York Comic Con, where he was promoting "Saw 3D."

Elwes is not only set to voice Harrison but will slip on that rather flattering mo-cap outfit to play the role. "It's more than a voice. We actually have to perform the roles," he said. "If you know much about motion-capture, it's not just voice-over work. You really have to perform the role."

When I asked if Elwes would be going for a straight imitation of Harrison or if he had any room to strike out into new vocal territory, the actor declined to get specific. "I can't really talk too much about it because I signed a waiver to the effect of not discussing it," he said. "But I can tell you it's going to be a really exciting film. I'm thrilled to be part of it."

He did say, though, that Harrison's family (the guitarist passed away in 2001) has been supportive of the project. "I know the family a little bit and they're very happy about it. I think the film will be really extraordinary thanks to 3-D," Elwes told us. "Today we're able to reinvent the film in a way that will be very, very exciting."

When studio execs green light a movie like "Predators," they're usually not thinking of it as a one-off; they've got franchise on the mind... which is why it was no surprise that the ending of this summer's man-vs.-alien reboot left the door wide freaking open for a sequel (or sequels).

"I think it's done well enough to justify [a sequel] for sure," star Adrien Brody told MTV News while promoting the movie's DVD release at New York Comic Con. It would seem that it has. The film cost a reported $45 million to make, and raked in $52.9 million domestically and $125 mil worldwide.

"I think the goal initially was to make a film that is worthy of [a franchise]," Brody said. "The film is even structured that way... to kick in for another one. I'd be excited. I'd be excited to do it. I think that was part of the allure."

Brody, however, says that he and director Nimrod Antal haven't yet discussed "Predators 2" in any rock-solid terms. "Never really. We had a lot of work set out for us... Unless it's concrete, unless you already have the specific agenda, you've got to focus all your energy on a day-by-day-by-day basis on overcoming the obstacles that present themselves to you every day. And I was in the gym every day after work and forcing myself to eat, so I wasn't really hanging out."

Yesterday turned out to be a totally lazy day for me … I spent much of the day playing video games on my Nintendo DS and not doing pretty much anything else. I did venture out of the house last night to sate my hunger for a plate of Aussie Cheese Fries from Outback:

After my breathing became labored and my arteries had sufficiently hardened, it was time to get back home. David and I received some very sad news of a death in a friend’s family so David booked a flight back East to attend the funeral which will be held tomorrow. I dropped him off at the airport this morning. Since I’ll be flying solo for a couple of days I can get some things taken care of … hopefully I’ll find our Hallowe’en costumes today or tomorrow. The weather heated up considerably here in SoCal, much to my glee. Happy Sunday, y’all.

He always looked at the speaker and seemed engrossed in the conversation, hanging on every word. I suspected that he wasn't as smart as he appeared, but John said he was smarter than he looked and questioned my intelligence.

Are you one of those that think that we should move towards a more sustainable model of development? This is indeed a great vision but unfortunately there are not a lot of people that understand what it entails. Some people even use the word sustainability to describe something that is it not. In this article I will be providing an overview of sustainable development in order to help the novices learn more on this.

Sustainable development is about selecting a model of economic development that will not have any detrimental effect on the environment and society generally. Said otherwise this mean that we should not favor growth at all cost and hinders the capacity of the future generation to supply for their needs. Contrary to what some people think sustainable development is more than ecology exclusively. Do you need to find more on this issue? This French article on sustainable development (developpement personnel) should be useful to read as it holds some useful point.

Second sustainable development asks that we have a more effective use of energy. It is also important that we consider our future generation when it gets to energy sources. This is why it is essential that we adopt some effective way to preserve energy. It is only in this way that we can give our children and grand-children a great environment. One French article that I have lately discovered is ecology (prêt écologique à taux zéro) and should be worth taking a look.

When we speak of sustainability we should also not forget about pollution. This is the reason why we frequently employ the word sustainability in the same sentence. This is why many proponents of sustainable development propose a shift to organic farming as less chemicals are used in this method. Doing this should indeed help to preserve the environment. French readers that require to find more can check out this text on organic food (recette potimarron) in order to read more on this.

Sustainable development has indeed become a hot topic nowadays. The world will not be able to sustain the current economic model for a long time without giving rise to social, environmental or economical crisis. Instead of waiting for these things to happen we will be better off tackling the problem at the root. But no one seems to care.
